Interior & Exterior Painting in Willow Springs

Exterior paint that stands up to shade, damp mornings and wooded lots. We paint Willow Springs homes inside and out, with rotted wood replaced first.

Willow Springs painting, from siding to stair rails

Whether it is a living room or the whole outside of the house, we run a painting job the same way: prep first, paint second. That means scraping and sanding loose paint, filling and caulking, priming bare and repaired areas and masking off glass, hardware and floors. Rotted trim is cut out and replaced with new wood, primed on every side, so the new paint has something sound to stick to. Inside, we move and cover furniture and lay down drop cloths before we start.

Willow Springs is on our regular route, off I-294 and along Archer Avenue and Willow Springs Road. The Des Plaines River and the forest preserves along it put a lot of homes here close to trees, and that shows up on the exterior: shaded walls, leaf litter against the bottom trim, and decks and railings that stay damp. We check the lowest trim boards and stair stringers for soft wood before we price anything. Wood that has been wet for seasons needs to dry out and get replaced, not covered.

What a Willow Springs paint job includes

Siding and trim exteriors

Loose paint scraped and feathered, bare wood primed, open seams caulked, then the finish coats we listed.

Railings and porch steps

Spindles, handrails and step risers sanded and painted, with any soft or split pieces replaced first.

Low trim and corner boards

Boards near grade and under leaf litter probed for rot and swapped out before they get paint.

Interior walls and ceilings

Cracks and dings repaired, sanded and primed, then rolled out in an even finish.

Doors inside and out

Entry, patio and interior doors prepped on every face so the edges do not peel first.

Covered floors and furniture

Furniture moved and wrapped, floors and shrubs under drop cloths, and the yard picked up each day.

How we price and schedule it

We walk the property, look at every side of the house and every room on the list, and give you a free written estimate. It names each surface, the prep it needs, the products and the coats. When we pull a trim board and the rot goes deeper than expected, you see it and get a written price before we replace more. Exterior days are booked spring to fall when it is dry and above 50 degrees, and we finish with a walkthrough together.

  • Every side of the house inspected
  • Low trim checked for rot
  • Replaced wood primed on all faces
  • Shrubs and floors under cover
  • Written price before extra repair
  • Final walkthrough together
FAQ

Interior & Exterior Painting in Willow Springs: questions

Why is the paint peeling at the bottom of my house?
Usually moisture. Trim near the ground and boards under leaf piles or downspouts stay wet, and the paint lets go. We find the cause, replace the soft wood and prime it properly before painting.
When is exterior painting season in Willow Springs?
Spring to fall, on dry days above 50 degrees. Damp mornings near the river and the woods can push a start time later in the day, and we plan for that.
Do you paint in towns around Willow Springs?
Yes. Burr Ridge, Palos Park, Lemont and Western Springs are all part of our regular route.
Do I need a permit?
Repainting typically does not need one in Willow Springs. If we are rebuilding deck stairs or railings rather than painting them, we check with the village and pull a permit where required.
Can I text photos first?
Yes. Text photos of the peeling areas or rooms to (815) 585-1750 and we will give you a read and set up the on-site estimate.
